which he did instantly. Here is Honey

The leading papers of the country are
talking war in Europe. The opinion
prevails that collision must take place
in the early spring. Whether it will be
between Germany and France, or Russia
and Austria, or Russia and Turkey, or
whether everybody will 60 to fighting
everybody is problematical. But that
there is to be a war is definitely settled by
the know-alls.

coast in o fully equipped condition.
When emergency arises and the strain
and press of actual war is upon Us, there
will be no time to build the necessary
works which require time and e1treva-
CANT expenditures Of money. ..
The necessity for naval station on the
shore Of the Gulf of Mexico is said TO be
imperative, not only from the posi-
o1lity likely soon to arise in
these waters and adjoining West
I Indies countries and seas, but also
because g station is needed for base
for naval defense of our own coasts snd
prote ction Of the outlets of our gulf and
Mississippi trade. Commodore Harmony

some respects, contains more advantages
for station than Key West or any point
on the Mississippi river.

with the Arguments of the Supreme court
of the United States. What little CON-
ment is heard is all in one direction, but
emphasizes the general opinion expressed
Yesterday that the court will not grant s
stay to proceedings. It is rot known
when decision will be rendered. The
probabilities point TO next Monday,
though it may be delayed longer. Some
lawyers believe that the court will simply
announce its decision without giving 81
extended opinion until later in the term,

period on account of i'll health. Although
not suI ering from any disease he is for
hidden by his physician from undertaking

some headaches which have grown more
aud more severe and frequent, until

For the past two weeks
he has not been able even to read his let

prospect that he will be able to prepare
one. His physician states that with the
necessary rest the Secretary will be per-

the completion of the Fort Worth and
Denver Railway from the south and the

Commissioner Ugu from TJrt Wort

would have on the settlement of the lands
referred to. The following IS MS reply:
" T. Gass, ESQ Fort Worth, Tex
DEAR SIR-Your favor OF 18Th lyester-
day received. Allow me to thank you
for the friendly sentiments expressed
| There is no question but that the new
land law authorizes and requires the In
mediate lease Of school lands. The penal
ties for the unlawful use, enclosure, etc,
may De properly inflicted also. All leases.
! however, are made subject TO classifca-
ton and subject TO the rights Of all set

leasing Of the pu3lic school lands for 8
period OF five or more years, while it was
also provided that the lanes should b.
sold to sexual settlers when class fed g,

interested, csn very readily see from the
a9ove Letter that the new Commissioner

tirely upon the classification the neg
agent may make. Very respectfully, =

sanctum OF Democracy. The blind prophe-
cies of Radical organs and the weak ap-
peals OF prohibition organs per Sc
will afect nothing with Demo-
Gratis il Texas; but if the spirit
evident in these two extracts dnd
utterance hereafter in actiou, the respon-
si5ility for Democratic strife will rest on
the men who provoke it:
Those Democrats who sought to surrender
the keys of the Democratic citadel to the enc
ny may, in the general Joy over their humi.-
iating defeat, be pardoned to the extent OF
allowing them to remain IN the party while
standing submissively around AID voting the
Democrats ticket; but true Democracy here
after viii put none but true Democrats on
guard. This is otliciaI.- an Antonio Express.
If people want 10 be Democrats they must be
Democrats if they want to be Prohi3ittonists
let them be Prohibt!onists. They cannot be
both, or pretend to be both, hereafter in I-Nas.
= Waco Examiner,
The election last Thursday settled state
prohibition IN Texas for years, and it Will
remain settled unless the spirit of these
Texas papers fads voice. The 1900
votes cast for Dohoney IN 1856 cannot
thrust this question on the people sgsip,
and the tens OF thousands Of Democrats
WHO voted for prohibition and who are
Democrats, and also Prohibitionists, will
not seek to do so. II Democratic
discussion ever arise over this question
it will come from men who have some
purpose other than the harmon.z2tion of
the Democratic party Of Texas, and The
GAZETTE does not believe that the great
body Of the party will lenditseH to efforts
for its own enteeblement.

should view with alarm any indications,
however slight, of hostility on the part
of the administration TO the settlement
of the country. To the stste st large
this is matter of vital importance; to
the citizens of thst section it means
much more, involving as it
does their individual welfare. They
have settled in the west with the expects
ton Of It's speedy development. Few
people would endure the hardshtps of
pioneer life unless they were animated
with such 8 hope.
Mr.. Browning's letter is Significant in
that il clearly outlines one phase OF the
school land question, which has oeen re
garded but little in the construction Of
and Laws. This is the existence of di-
verse and antagonistic interests in the
west which are contending with eSch
other for the faYors of the
state and the control OF the
school lands. The controversy which has
been aroused in tie Panhandle by tie
new law, and whicl at the outset is cia-
scterized by great bitterness, is between
the pasture interests on one side snd those
who ere anxious for the settlement OF the
large enclosures made in defiance Of law
